Whether we know them from our favourite dramas and films such as Start-Up and Netflix’s Alive or their unique musicality, Korean celebrities such as Blackpink’s Lisa, CL and Tiffany Young have long captured our attention with anything from their beauty routine to their unique sense of fashion. Now, we’re spotlighting their favourite luxury bags. Keep scrolling to find out what their faves are.
Add some punk edge to your wardrobe this season with Valentino’s latest Stud Sign bag. Crafted in leather using the Vlogo and metal hardware, as well as Roman Stud details in an antique brass finish, the bag is the latest addition to the luxury house’s Fall/Winter 2021 collection. What we love most about this simple yet chic number is that it comes with Roman Studs, measuring 18 mm x 18 mm, that are linked to one another by a chain, giving off an edgier feel to its look. Pair it together with a casual ensemble like CL, with an oversized long sleeved blouse, layered with a sweater vest or you can even match it with your favourite classic LBD.
If you love something that’s a little more timeless and versatile, then consider the Valentino Garavani Stud Sign bag in black. Here, Tiffany Young pairs this stylish piece to match her all-black ensemble. What’s great about this bag is that it complements her boots as well, and it accentuates the sexy, punk rock style she’s going for.

Here, Lisa rocks the Clutch On Strap in Canvas & Calfskin by Celine by keeping it casual with a blue ruffled top and black bottoms. But don’t be fooled by the size of this bag. In fact, it’s actually big enough to fit all your essentials, like your wallet, keys, cards and hand sanitiser into one — so you can carry it around comfortably wherever you go, even while you’re running your errands.
